B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Love this hitch. It has performed great with my 17,000 lb trailer all year. A very stable and reliable platform for towing. Easy to set up and plenty of adjustment to get the trailer just right. The only negative is the weight, not the easiest to get in and out of the truck by yourself.
I decided to buy the Champion fifth wheel hitch to pull a fifth wheel camper, my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 already had a B&W goose neck hitch in it. The champion hitch allowed me to also have a fifth wheel hitch with out drilling and mounting more weight to the truck. The instructions for assembly were clear and easy to follow making the assembly of the hitch easy. The hitch fit snug and there is no play in it. The 26' fifth wheel camper pulled nicely, no surging or swaying.

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
Great product! Ive pulled a 42' to Hell and back not one problem. It is heavy, but it's very solid. My fifth wheel hitch fit straight in. Way cheaper than having to put rails in if you have a factory ball hitch in the bed. Its It's also nice that it's removable so you can haul furniture, or things that can't sit crooked ect. Great product, should last forever. Definitely would recommend
Received the Curt X5 B&W turnover ball adapter yesterday. Would have been easier to drop in with two people but I was able to do it myself. Dropped right in, and in less then 15 seconds it was dropped and locked. Saved me lots of install time on 5th wheel rails. Set my RBW lil' rocker hitch on and pulled my 10,000 lbs 32' 5th wheel across town without issue. I feel that this is probably the strongest way to go when running a 5th wheel to turnover ball adapter, and its only about $*** which is a fraction of the cost for those other weird complex adapters that side load or flex. Customer feedback was great with optimal response time on my questions.

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
This product fits my fifth wheel hitch well and fits in the truck hitch as well. Have not pulled with it yet as winter storms are here. I expect it to work well. Expensive for as simple as it is. Hoping it is built well. Nice That I was able to get a used one at a reduced rate. Missing the pads so we’ll see what kind of a difference that makes. Very happy with etrailer as a distributor. They make the purchase easy and quick free delivery. They Always follow up on my satisfaction with my purchase’s.
Best thing for someone who uses the entire bed of their truck. Does not make anymore noise than a standard rail kit.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
I got a email to review this so here I am. The attachment to the bed in fantastic. I rate it at 5 stars and an it’s very easy to remove quickly. The king pin lock does not work very well after about 6 months of use. I typically have to reach into the locking mechanism to get it to release properly. Other than that is has not cracked, rusted or bent since I’ve owned it. I live is the high desert so it does not see much rain or snow.
We have about 20000 miles towing with the hitch so far and have had one problem with our set up. The hitch assembly rotates or slips around, I drilled a hole in the outer frame of the hitch and my truck bed and installed a nut and bolt to keep it from rotating.The base was rotating on the flat bed of truck.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
The assembly seems very stout and sturdy overall. Was able to put the unit together in truck bed quite easily. will know more in upcoming weekend when fifth wheel trailer gets pulled home
I was a bit disappointed because when I installed the hitch per instructions, it still allowed a movement on the hitch. The hitch would actually move 1-2 inches when I would brake or accelerate the vehicle while towing. I researched and found that it was a common issue and some people were advised by etrailer technical support to torque the attachment bolts tighter. I did this as well, but with the same results. So as a result I don't pull the fifth wheel very far and am look for a solution to the issue.

Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
This product is spot on, I installed it immediately and have used it twice. This product was an awesome option to purchase because of already having the B&W turnover ball system. This gave me the ability to install and the Curt Q24 slider to give the maneuverability needed when pulling a fifth wheel with a short box that the Anderson hitch did not provide. I have already used the slider option twice, it works flawlessly. Prior to the purchase of this Demco I purchased the Curt X5. The X5 did not work with my truck at all. The X5 did not even make contact with the bed of the truck for support. This Demco base to rails fits tightly to the bed of the truck. I have 2007 Dodge 3500. It is a short box mega cab.
Does exactly what is is built to do. I pull a 42’ fifthwheel that weighs 18000# with no hesitation anywhere. As always very happy with product and ther staff at etrailer. I will continue to use you for all my needs. Thank

Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
Heavy and doesn't fit flat on my truck bed, had to add some heavy duro rubber shims between this and the bed floor. I paired this with the C611-624 gooseneck hitch.
Everything arrived in perfect condition. With a little trim of the bed liner the adapter fit perfectly as described. My Curt A-16 hitch looks great paired up with the gooseneck adapter. Ready to hit the road!

B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
I am very impressed with the quality of this BW 5th wheel hitch. I chose it because it what is recommended for use on my new flatbed for my truck. The flatbed is designed with this hitch in mind. It fits perfectly in the gooseneck well and is easy to install/remove. Just tighten/loosen the tension bolt and slide the locking pin to switch from gooseneck ball to 5th wheel. Going with this hitch and a flatbed makes trailering so much easier. No more step ladders, standing on running boards or tire to reach the hitch handle. Just reach over, grab the handle to open/close the jaws and set the safety pin. Highly recommend it.
Finally found someone that was knowledgeable and could solve our towing needs after we had a flatbed installed on our truck!! Works great and received our order a lot earlier than estimated!

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks
I have a 2019 f250 with the 6.5' bed and didn't want a heavy, bulky fifth wheel hitch taking all the bed space up. I had the fifth wheel package already installed as well, so it didn't make sense to not use that. I about went with the ultimate hitch that Anderson offers but decided against that as I have seen many reviews where the hitch failed. I saved a bunch of cash going with this product and it is awesome. I installed it by myself in my drive way in about 2 hours start to finish. I have zero issues turning so close to a 90*. I have a headache rack on my truck and it gets within an inch or two of hitting that but not my truck. I don't have any issues with the king box hitting the bed either like some people stated. The test ride today went very well. It rode very smooth and I have plenty of bed space for my dogs and gear. I would highly suggest this product if you are on the fence like I was. I will see how this will hold up over the years but I doubt I will have any issues. The shipping effected the sheath covering over the cable, I contacted the company, sent some pictures and they will be sending me a brand new part. I love this company and the products they stand behind!!!
I have been using the Ranch Hitch #3100 Straight Adapter for 3 years. Converting the 5th wheel to goose neck was awesome. Much easier to hook up and a smoother, quieter pull. After purchasing a new trailer I noticed that the trailer was too close to the cab of my short bed truck. I found the Ranch Hitch #3139 with 8" offset adapter. It installs easy and gives me 8 more inches away from my truck cab. Excellent! Turning corners is much more comfortable!

Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25K lbs
I have been very pleased with the gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter. So much so, that I bought a second one (but it was square tube not round). Having a fifth wheel camper, a flat deck trailer and a dump trailer all on fifth wheel hitches is awesome. They pull better than gooseneck (smoother), they hook up faster and nobody asks to borrow them!
Makes for a more stable hitch with the Ram Puck System, don't hear of feel the gooseneck down pipe flexing, makes hooking up easier in that I don't have to get up into the bed to close and lock the gooseneck lock. Yeah, glad I went this way. Easy install.

Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter
Real fast shipping, and a competitive price. Easy to follow directions and simple installation. This is a great product.
I returned it, because it was going to change the structural integrity of my 5th wheel camper. Did not use the product.

Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Auto Latch - Lippert 1621/1621 HD - 21K - 3.5K TW
This hitch reduced chucking very well, I have a 2004 3500 Dodge Ram 4x4 Conestoga riding truck with very stiff suspension, the torsion action of the hitch definitely helps when crossing bridges and pot holes. The 5th wheel is an older Keystone Copper Canyon that is in great shape. I Have 12K miles with the new hitch.
I love this hitch I put it on my 35’ Astoria fifth wheel it pulls great and the shock absorbers help with a smooth ride.we took a ten day trip from Ga to Maine last September and had no problems with this hitch. I guess the only negative is that it’s not as easy as a regular fifth wheel hitch to hook up by yourself but after a few times you can line it up ok. The best thing is that no big hitch taking up space in my truck bed just a ball

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD - 30K GTW - 5.5K TW
This product is a chucking ENHANCER, not a chucking dampener. Additionally, despite what you have read, my experience with GenY customer service has been terrible. GenY will not support their warranty program, they will try to tell you everything is OK, when the fact is, their product is faulty and does not function to GenY product literature statements “Built-In Suspension Creates Up to 90% Smoother Ride”. I purchased the GenY executive hitch from eTrailer on 3/10/23, etrailer sent the wrong unit and to etrailer’s credit - they quickly took responsibility and replaced with the correct unit on 3/24/23. I installed on my DRV Elite Suites PS3 just in time to attend the SOITC rally at the Outer Banks on 4/13/23. When we left for this 750-mile one-way trip, the GenY load indicator was in the middle of the green zone, I measured the pin load at 5,200 pounds. Bedrail clearance was my reason for buying the GenY, it replaced a Trail Air on my DRV and a Reese 27,000-pound hitch on my 2022 F450. Bottom line, the GenY system provided no improvement in bedrail clearance, but did offer the ability to switch in different gooseneck balls to adjust for bedrail clearance. GenY states that a 1,000-mile break in period is required before the GenY torsion system is fully effective. My experience was that at 750 miles the torsion system on the GenY had sagged to it lowest point with the load indicator in the unit outside of the green, this also resulted in losing nearly two inches of bedrail clearance. It looks like it has a metal-to-metal stop so that the lowest the indicator will go is to the white lines outside of the green. I called GenY from the RV park and was told that the unit would not sag further. I purchased a Curt gooseneck ball which was 2 inches higher than the Ford ball to regain bedrail clearance having to rapid ship it to the RV park. Chucking became downright scary on the 750-trip home. As an example, chucking was induced every time my truck’s ten-speed transmission shifted up. Upon arrival home, I again contacted GenY customer service with a full expectation that GenY would replace the unit. Instead, here is their response: “I spoke with our QC Manager regarding your hitch. He said that you are in the correct unit and being at the top end of the green is normal after the break-in miles. As for the bedrail clearance he said that you would be able to lower the pin box down a set of bolts (with our pin boxes you are only required a minimum of 4 grade eight bolts per side) or use a B&W ball as they are roughly 1 1/2” taller.” This is unacceptable...
Without a doubt the biggest difference maker I have ever used in my 50 plus years pulling trailers. When my wife had to concede that the Gen-Y gooseneck hitch made such a drastic difference.... enough said!

Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD - 30K GTW - 4.5K TW
The Gen-Y gooseneck has been excellent! I now have approximately 12k miles on mine and it rides very nicely with very limited chucking and handles rough roads very well. I’d highly recommend that you contact Gen-Y BEFORE ordering to ensure you get the correct load rating product. Gen-Y and Etrailer have provided excellent customer and tech support! This product definitely frees up your truck bed and does require a precise line up to hitch.
Makes life a lot easier l don’t have to remove my hitch from the bed of my truck to use it. Just flip the ball and there you go. The gooseneck hitch actually pulls better than the 5th wheel hitch I had. It is rather heavy so come up with a good plan for installing, I used the front end loader on my tractor which allowed me to do the install by myself. Great product!!!

Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs
Fit and function is great. Item is as described. I’m completely disappointed in the finish quality. They didn’t even bother to remove any welding soot nor splatter and definitely no paint. Hitch is covered in surface rust. The welds were burned in hot but did not wrap the gussets left holes in ones corner and a large weld droplet. No pride taken in the work. Packaging was poor with multiple holes torn in the oversized box with on piece of packaging paper that was supposed to protect this 40 pound hitch.
The 5th wheel trailer coupler adapter works very well. It's strong, solid, and we'll made. Highly recommend!

Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Round - 25,000 lbs
Great product. Just ups shipping sucks
Added a gooseneck 5th wheel to a 14,000# dumpster trailer using boxed 8x8 wfb. Built it to the truck. This product ideal for this project. Welded on with flat plate allowing space for adjustment. Towing made a huge difference with the trailer maxed out most of the time. Turning around is fantastic with the ability to jack it around up to the cab.

Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - 20,000 lbs
Installation was a breeze. I have not towed with it yet, but am sure it will perform as expected.
Hitch is great. Delivery went well. My only issue is I was able to find it for roughly $xxx cheaper on [online]. When I reached out to customer support to let them know, they told me it was too late to cancel the order and if I’d like, I can return it for a $xxxx shipping fee…

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Round - 25,000 lbs
I ordered the Bulldog adapter because I believe their quality is good. The construction of the Bulldog hitch adapter was good. However, the 4” tube was not perfectly round, approximately.030 out of round. This shouldn’t have been an issue, but since my trailer is used and had a Temco hitch originally, the tube wouldn’t slip in. I chucked the Bulldog in the lathe and skimmed .030 of the diameter and it went right in. This review is not written to criticize Etrailer or Bulldog. Just be aware if you’re working with a different brand hitch other than what is listed, there is a possibility of fitment issues.
My expectation when I unboxed the unit was that it would be a brand new unit. This unit looks like it had been made up and peicemealed from random gooseneck parts. I am reluctant to use this unit because I am questioning the workmanship of the welds.

Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube - Square - 30,000 lbs
Great product, fast shipping, excellent communication, definitely recommend these guys!! We painted the square tube/king pin tube red and installed it. Works great, but there is not much of it to see in the pic. Take my word, well built & very heavy duty!!
I ordered this product and received it 3 days later, I took about 1 hour to remove the gooseneck tube and install this one and get the height set for towing, removed it once again and painted it due to it being bare metal. So far this seems to be a quality product.
